Summary: Is the family in crisis? Or do crises crystallize in families' lived realities? Families as constitutive units of all social architectures are central to our democracies. In this book, scholars from cultural, gender, and media studies, lawyers, sociologists, and historians discuss how today's rainbow variety of families crosses borders and how cultural texts - sitcoms, films, novels, short stories, and political magazines from Europe (Germany, Italy, Spain) and the US - (de)construct, take part in, and mirror family discourses around topics such as fatherhoods, motherhoods, reproductive decisions, adoption, marriage, divorce, poverty, welfare, war, and the rhetoric of the nuclear family.
